Otherwise, why the added braking, cooling and horsepower?
BMW did narrow the gap between regular cars and M. Does 228i get added cooling or hp? What about LSD, it's usually a given on any performance car these days (at least as an option)

PS. I bought M235i as performance oriented car. I think true performance cars are M, Audi RS, Porsche 911, Cayman, etc. Maybe I am using wrong terminology..... perhaps it's performance vs high performance cars

I wonder where does Miata, BRZ, WRX, Lexus IS F-Sport, etc fall?
